Dr. Bucshon: U.S. Will Not Waiver in its Support of Israel

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. voted on Thursday to rebuke a recent anti-Israel resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council just days before Christmas.

“The UN’s action is an attempt to delegitimize Israel and threatens stability in the region,” said Bucshon. “Unfortunately, the Obama Administration turned its back on America’s strongest ally by abstaining from a vote – a veto by President Obama would have stopped the resolution in its tracks. A peaceful solution can only be achieved through direct, bilateral negotiations, not by directives from the UN. With our vote last night, Congress reaffirms that the United States will not waiver in its support of Israel.”
